How to use IsKeyboardFocusWithin and IsSelected together?
- by jpsstavares
I have a style defined for my ListBoxItems with a trigger to set a background color when IsSelected is True:
<Style x:Key="StepItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Border Name="Border" Padding="0" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="Background" Value="#40a0f5ff"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
This style maintains the selected item even when the ListBox and ListBoxItem loses focus, which in my case is an absolute must.
The problem is that I also want the ListBoxItem to be selected when one of its TextBox's child gets focused. To achieve this I add a trigger that sets IsSelected to true when IsKeyboardFocusWithin is true:
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="True">
<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="True" />
</Trigger>
When I add this trigger the Item is selected when the focus is on a child TextBox, but the first behaviour disappears. Now when I click outside the ListBox, the item is de-selected.
How can I keep both behaviours?
